Premier David Crisafulli says Queensland tourism should do more to promote First Nations culture. But that may not include a long-promised centre in Brisbane.
An upcoming Queensland tourism strategy is likely to decide the fate of Brisbane’s long-promised First Nations cultural centre.On Friday, Premier David Crisafulli agreed more should be made of the state’s First Nations culture and heritage.But Crisafulli would not be drawn on the prospect of a Brisbane centrepiece, saying the government was consulting on a new tourism strategy that would determine “whether or not the idea of a cultural centre is an important part of that mix”.
“Let’s have a look,” he told reporters in Brisbane, without being drawn on the merits of the proposal.Brisbane winning the right to host the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games fuelled calls for First Nations culture to be highlighted and promoted to tourists.But there has never been an agreement between governments and traditional owners for such a centre to be built at South Brisbane, let alone a budget, approved architectural plans or a construction schedule.
